The Task Force reviewed and approved regulatory amendments for ADS-equipped vehicles across multiple UN Regulations. Key decisions included adopting a simplified and consistent definition of ‘vehicle user’ for light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles, retaining original wording for warning signal transmission to ADS systems, and amending engine torque terminology under UN R49. Amendments were reviewed for UN R49, UN R83, UN R115, UN R154, UN R177, UN R179, and UN R180, with focus on consistency regarding ADS testing modes and an additional 25 kg mass allowance for vehicles of categories X and Y. The Task Force acknowledged that ADS operation may result in additional energy consumption not fully reflected in current testing procedures and agreed to seek GRPE guidance on possible future work.

Provisional agenda for the 35th meeting of the AVRS Task Force scheduled for 12 October 2026, including adoption of agenda, review of minutes from the previous meeting, discussion of a proposal for a Supplement to the 02 and 03 series of amendments to UN R154, discussion on ADS vehicles and their energy consumption and continuation of the Task Force mandate, a status report on GRPE-95, and any other business.
